Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed Icon

I run for a nationally ranked D2 XC team and I can say without a doubt, these are my favorite shoes. I have tried all brands (Brooks, Nike & Adidas) and they don't compare. I do all my runs in these, workouts too and they are perfect.

Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Looks awesome and I've received many compliments.

I have been using these exclusively on my speed work training days. They are light with just the right amount of cushion and support. Definitely can feel the return spring and natural roll of the shoe as I am running. FWIW, I am 60 years old, 150 lbs, mid-to-forefoot striker and run 5K in 22:00. I have run in the Freedom before this shoe; this is now my favorite pair of speed/racing shoes ever. Looking forward to my virtual half in April in these bad boys!

It's hard to run slow in these shoes. Really a game changer. These shoes have made me 15-20 seconds per mile faster

Honestly the best running shoes I've ever used. I typically run 30 miles/week but what I was so impressed with were my speed runs. I immediately noticed a 10% reduction in times for my 5 & 10k runs. Love these shoes!!

True to size, very responsive, light but cushioned

I've been running for over 30 years and have tried countless makes and models of running shoes. Since I have bunions I need to be careful to choose a shoe that has a wide toe-box. I read some good reviews about the Endorphin Speed, so I thought I would give them a try. It turns out they are as advertised. They're cushioned but not too soft, roll nicely from heel to toe, look good, and best of all they are so comfortable! I also like how the plate seems to add support and doesn't let the soles bend too much, which I feel helps reduce wear and tear on my feet. I truly hope Saucony doesn't make major changes to these shoes.

These are very comfortable shoes. I'm a beginner runner. When I first put them on I ran longer than I had ever run before.

Gets very dirty easily if purchasing white color! Overall a great running shoe for neutral feet.

So far this is the best pair of shoes I own. I was using Clifton 7s for my long run but after using the Endo Speed for just 2 weeks the Cliftons have been replaced. The Endorphins are made for my feet and when I put a little heat to the shoes the respond with vibrancy I don't get from any other shoe. Thanks Saucony.

Without a doubt the best shoe I have ever run in. Was a huge fan of the Kinvara line. Once I took a couple of runs in the Endorphin Speed, I have never looked back. Tempos, Intervals, Long Distance, and even Racing. Amazing.

Holy sh**. Where do I even start? I came from a competitor shoe that failed me. The competitor shoe was way more expensive, felt weirder, and although it was fast, the sole split in half. The endorphin speed is the perfect tempo shoe. Upon first fit, this shoe has a much much more natural feel and is lighter than the competitor. The pebax foam provides enough stability but is pretty soft. There's a composite nylon plate to still give you that energy return and rebound. The fit allows it to be comfortable at slower speeds, but it's still a shoe built for going fast. The feel isn't awkward and the foot strike feels more natural. I'd recommend this one to anybody that wants to go fast while staying comfortable. It has a traditional tongue and lacing system, but the laces have grooves and have some elasticity to provide a good lockdown so you don't have to worry bout it. These are an aesthetically pleasing and wallet-pleasing shoe that I'd be happy to have multiple pairs of.

Best running shoe I've ever owned (though to be fair I haven't owned a ton of different ones). The shoes are light and perfectly reactive. What's more, the shoes have fixed any issues I had with supination, leading my ankles and achilles to feel fresh, even after a half. I bought myself a pair and a month later bought a pair for my girlfriend.

Fast shoe; comfortable and fast on weekly 16 miler; may be preferable to the pro, which I am trying out on long run this weekend

This is, hands down, my favorite shoe at the moment. The midsole feels very responsive and the nylon plate gives it a snappy-feel. This shoe feels fast and makes you want to go fast. Despite being my favorite I don't wear it for every run however; on recovery runs I find my pace creeping faster and faster from where I want to be if I try to wear these. I do find that they are quite fitted, so if you like a bit of space in the toe-box size up a half size.

All the benefits of a plate useable at an amateur pace. The shoe feels light, supportive and most importantly FAST

Awesome shoe!! Feels amazing and very durable. First time running with the shoes I bettered my min/mile pace by a whole minute!! Feels fast and super breathable top, will definitely recommend and I think I found my new favorite running shoe.

Perfect for all types of runs and paces! Just finished my first 50 miles in the shoes and I can say I am going to need a second pair.

Great shoe for a neutral foot. I use these as my daily trainers. I feel fast in these. I have noticed that I have more of a proclivity to roll my ankle in these. I've never had that issue with any other shoe. Shoe has held up really well to daily mileage. Would recommend if you prefer a lighter, faster, minimalistic shoe for daily training.

Shoe is super responsive, supportive, and is the first thing I go to grab before any run!

I cannot believe the comfort and overall experience I have in this shoe. It's like nothing I've ever worn. Very comfortable for long runs. I cannot wait to put them on and go for a run every morning.

I gave 5 Stars because this shoe is FUN to run in. I would buy 100% again. Their is a slight break in period of 3/4 runs before my feet adjusted. Only flaw, and it's certainly minor, is the toe box of the shoes. When the laces are tightened, their seems to be bunching of fabric. This doesn't effect the run but just something I noticed. That being said, this shoe is great! I feel fast just walking in them.

Very comfort. Light weight. I want to buy more in a future.

These have been amazing I'm 15 miles in and they just get better each and every run

The perfect uptempo trainer. Just the right amount of cushion and energy return to train at faster paces without the harshness of a usual carbon-plated shoe. 10/10 would buy again.
